DARK ROMANTIC COMEDY. SECOND EDITION released in Sept 2016 Would you take another shot at love? Or just settle on a friend with benefits? THEIR HEARTBREAKING PAST WILL MOVE YOU. THEIR PASSION WILL MAKE YOU BLUSH. THEIR ANTICS WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH OUT LOUD. Twenty-five-year-old Natalie Davenport lugs substantial baggage. One boyfriend after the next has been a total disaster, leaving Natalie distrustful toward the male population in general. So when Colin Hampton crosses her path, she’s cautious. Her heart (and some other body parts!) nudges her to go for it, while her head wants her to run for the hills. Colin is one of those gorgeous guys who attract women, no matter the age or marital status. With a successful career at a popular Seattle radio station, hard body, and charming personality, he is the complete package. But something dark lurks in the corners of his soul; some murky experience that has changed him—maybe for the better, but maybe for the worse. Will he steal her heart and stomp over it like other guys did? Will she let him into her heavily fortified world despite herself? Or will they settle somewhere in the middle—establishing the emotional boundaries to protect them from falling in love? \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\* This dark romantic comedy blends humor, sensuality, and angst, with zany characters and witty dialogue. \\\*Warning: contains sexual situations (some quite vivid!), profanity, and a high dose of sarcasm.
